After ‘Hello’, ‘3 Idiots’ and the most-talked about forthcoming film ‘2 States’, one can look forward to yet another bestseller coming on the big screen. A known fact these three were the adaptation of ace writer Chetan Bhagat's novels and of late reports has it that his recently released book ‘Revolution 2020’ will be also turned into a movie.

UTV Motion Pictures has acquired the movie rights of Bhagat's latest bestseller ‘Revolution 2020’. The book will be made into an epic drama with strong roles for the lead cast.

Confirming the news Siddharth Roy Kapur (CEO of UTV Motion Pictures) stated that the book is “simply unputdownable” and he is awed by the way Chetan has written it. “He has crafted such a dramatic plot with such sharply defined characters, that you're constantly wondering how things will play out. The issues he deals with in the book are those today's youth will instantly relate to and identify with. We're very excited to work with him on making a great film from what we all believe is a great book,” remarked Kapur.

‘Revolution 2020’, Chetan’s fifth book, was launched by Sonam Kapoor in Mumbai last month. Talks are that his earlier work, ‘The 3 Mistakes of My Life’, will also made into a film.

Chetan's new novel has notched up sales of 800,000 copies in just a month since its release and it’s already on track to become the largest selling book of all time by an Indian author in English. The book has great roles for its key protagonists, as it narrates the story of three central characters - Gopal, Raghav and Aarti whose destinies are intertwined.

Let’s wait to see who bags these roles…. Any suggestions?
